About this fabric

The warm khaki background gives this colourway an earthy, softened base, while dark olive fronds and broad leaves add depth across the design. Plum-purple pods and flowers create restrained points of contrast, balanced by pale sage and grey-green foliage. At 250 gsm, the fabric has a versatile mid-weight presence suited to both upholstery and drapery. It has a 137 cm usable width, with a 67 cm vertical pattern repeat and a 135 cm horizontal repeat for planning the large-scale botanical placement.

How to use it

Pair Madagascar Forest with warm natural woods, aged brass and textured neutrals to draw out its khaki ground, or echo the plum details in cushions and smaller accents. Its deep olive foliage works particularly well in a study, garden room or relaxed sitting room.

Use this richly layered botanical colourway to bring olive foliage, warm khaki and plum accents to upholstery or window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Madagascar Forest without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
